2.Mannose-binding lectin: From bench to personalized medicine
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(05):-
Mannose-binding lectin(MBL) is a key component of the innate immune system that plays a pluripotent role in natural defense.MBL genetic variants are associated with increased susceptibility to and the severity and prognosis of various diseases.The association between low MBL-producing allelic variants and disease risk and/or severity is particularly strong in infectious and autoimmune diseases.Enhanced risk for disease by low MBL producers is particularly the case for children and immunocompromised patients,especially when primary and secondary immune deficiencies coexist.Therefore the use of MBL testing and replacement therapy has reached the threshold of personalized medicine.The author presents a review of the role of MBL in health and diseases,the advances in MBL testing methodology and MBL related therapies.

AIM:To investigate the influence and mechanisms of human pancreatic cancer tumor microenvironments on T-cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM-3) expression and function of dendritic cells (DCs).METHODS:Tumor-infiltrating dendritic cells (TIDC) and para-carcinoma tissue DCs were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque density centrifugation from trypsinized pancreatic carcinoma tissues, and the peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from pancre-atic cancer patients or healthy people.The expression of TIM-3 on DCs was detected by flow cytometry.DCs isolated from healthy people peripheral blood mononuclear cells were induced by rhGM-CSF and IL-4.The expression of TIM-3 in the DCs treated with the culture supernatants of Capan-2, SW1990 and Panc-1 pancreatic cancer cells or human skin fibroblast (Hs27) cells for 48 h, and in the DCs treated with supernatants of Capan-2 cells, anti-VEGF-R2, anti-IL-10 and EP2 re-ceptor blocking peptide were evaluated by flow cytometry.The releases of IFN-βand IL-12 in the culture supernatants of DCs pretreated with monoclonal antibody ( mAb) to TIM-3 or DNase+RNase, followed by stimulation with apoptotic Ca-pan-2 cells, were detected by ELISA.RESULTS:DCs in tumor microenvironments had higher expression of TIM-3 than the DCs from para-carcinoma tissues and pancreatic cancer patient or healthy people peripheral blood ( P<0.01 ) .TIM-3 expression in the DCs treated with the culture supernatants of Capan-2, SW1990 and Panc-1 pancreatic cancer cells for 48 h was much higher than that in Hs27 cells (P<0.05).Treatment with a combination of anti-VEGF-R2, anti-IL-10 and EP2 receptor blocking peptide largely diminished the upregulation of TIM-3 on the DCs mediated by Capan-2 cell superna-tants (P<0.05).The concentrations of IFN-βand IL-12 in the DCs with high expression level of TIM-3 were lower than those in the DCs with low TIM-3 expression level.Treatment with mAb to TIM-3 resulted in much more IFN-βand IL-12 releases (P<0.01), but DNase+RNase made this effect disappear.CONCLUSION:TIM-3 serves as a negative regula-tor of DCs innate immune responses in the pancreatic cancer microenvironments.The secretion of soluble factors to tumor microenvironment by pancreatic cancer cells, including IL-10, VEGF and PGE2 , may contribute to the regulation of TIM-3 expression.

Multicultural nursing starts late in our country. At present, the domestic scholars′research is focusing on the influencing factors of multi-cultural nursing ability and cultivating mode. There are few studies pay attention to the cultural competency assessment tool which is limited to nursing students in school. I believe that establishing evaluation tools that suit our national condition, efficient and comprehensive will help reflecting the multicultural nursing ability and the training effect objectively and also promoting the development of multi-cultural care in China.

To study and compare the protective effects of Cordyceps sinensis from different habitats on acute injury of hepatic tissue induced by carbon tetrachloride ( CCl4 ) . Methods:The rat model of acute injury of hepatic tissue induced by CCl4 was established. The biochemical indicators of alanine aminotranferease ( ALT) and aspartate aminotransferease ( AST) in the serum and superoxide dismutase ( SOD) and L-glutathione( GSH) in the liver tissue were detected, and the liver tissue HE staining was used for the histopathology determination. Results:Compared with those in the model group, the levels of AST and ALT in the serum were sig-nificantly reduced, the levels of SOD and GSH in the liver tissue were notably increased, and the necrosis of liver cells was improved in Cordyceps sinensis groups at low, medium and high dose from different habitats (P<0. 05), however, the differences between the two different habitats were not significant (P>0. 05). Conclusion: Cordyceps sinensis from Qinghai and Tibet shows some positive differences in the protective effect on the acute chemical liver injury induced by CCl4 in rats,however, the differences are not remarka-ble.
